The Aftershock is a Hardmode broadsword that is dropped by Earth Elementals. Hitting enemies with the sword spawns a spiked boulder from the sky that pierces twice and can pass through tiles to hit enemies. The boulders will bounce around and stop when they collide with a tile before shattering. The sword itself inflicts the Armor Crunch debuff.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• The Destroyer takes only 50% damage from the Aftershock's boulders.

Tips

• The Aftershock is very useful for rapidly annihilating worm-like enemies, since the falling boulders can hit several segments.

Trivia

• Unlike most on-hit effects, the Aftershock's effect can be triggered by hitting Target Dummies, however, this does not work during boss fights.
• An aftershock is a smaller earthquake which follows with a larger one in the same area.
